What is a Memory

By Ruhudeen Ali

What is a memory?
A memory is you and I
What is a memory?
A memory is a picture captured in time
What is a memory?
A memory is a dream so high
What is a memory?
A memory is when dreams evoke sighs
What is a memory?
A memory is feelings in the soul
What is a memory?
A memory is happiness in being together
What is a memory?
A memory is seeking each other’s pleasure
What is a memory?
A memory is an incomplete goal
What is a memory?
A memory is life’s toll
What is a memory?
A memory is having meaning
What is a memory?
A memory is an experience that was demeaning
What is a memory?
A memory is a traumatic experience
What is a memory?
A memory is moral perseverance
What is a memory?
A memory is bold thoughts
What is a memory?
A memory is being found and lost
What is a memory?
A memory is a tug boat in a black sea
What is a memory?
A memory is regret for what couldn’t be
What is a memory?
A memory is naivety
What is a memory?
A memory is blasphemy
What is a memory?
A memory is the struggle
What is a memory?
A memory is remembering God
What is a memory?
A memory is leaving the path
What is a memory?
A memory is concealed wrath
What is a memory?
A memory is trying to come back
What is a memory?
A memory is not knowing what to do
What is a memory?
A memory is your twisted point of view
What is a memory?
A memory is finding someone like you
What is a memory?
A memory is realizing there is no such thing
What is a memory?
A memory is patience wearing thin
What is a memory?
A memory is self-mortification
What is a memory?
A memory is humiliation
What is a memory?
A memory is a life of pain
What is a memory?
A memory is occassional gains
What is a memory?
A memory is trying to smile in a fake world
What is a memory?
If only for a while
What is a memory when it fades?
A memory is you and I..
